Gum Contouring in Wareham, MA
An uneven gum line or excessive gum display can overshadow your teeth, making your smile appear less balanced. We understand that such concerns can affect your self-esteem and how you feel about your smile. Through advanced techniques and precision, Dr. Kiehl and our experienced dental team can reshape your gum line, creating a more balanced and pleasing aesthetic.
What is Laser Gum Contouring?
LANAP is a cutting-edge laser technology revolutionizing gum contouring. This minimally invasive technique employs a specialized laser to carefully and precisely sculpt the gum tissue, creating a more harmonious gum line. Unlike traditional methods that involve incisions and sutures, LANAP offers a gentler approach with remarkable results.
Who is a Candidate for Gum Contouring?
- Gummy Smile – If you find that your gums are more prominent than your teeth when you smile, you may have what’s commonly known as a “gummy smile.” Gum reshaping can address this concern by reshaping the gum line to reveal more of your teeth, achieving a more balanced and appealing smile.
- Excessive Gum Display – Some individuals may have teeth that appear shorter due to excessive gum display. A gum reduction can create a balanced gum line, allowing your teeth to shine and making your smile more proportionate.
- Uneven or Asymmetrical Gum Line – An uneven or asymmetrical gum line can detract from the natural beauty of your smile. Gum contouring can sculpt and reshape the gum tissue, creating a more symmetrical and harmonious appearance.
At Southcoast Dental, we understand that each smile is unique. That’s why we offer personalized consultations to assess your individual needs and determine if gum contouring is the right solution for you.
